This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s Groundhog Day! This week on Open Sources Guelph, it’s Groundhog Day! Now that we’ve got that out of our system, let’s talk about what we’re doing on this week’s show. First, we will talk about a recently passed Ontario politician and the parts of her career most people aren’t talking about, and then we will talk about the very sad sequel to last year’s biggest blockbuster protest. For the interview? We’re going to have some municipal money talk. Continue reading “Open Sources (Ep. #411) Show Notes for February 2, 2023” →

Open Sources (Ep. #351) Show Notes for November 11, 2021

We’ll also have a visitor in the form of one of Guelph’s 12 city councillors. Hint? She’ll be doing the interview in her home ward.
